Notes
*Servings:
- This recipe card is set to 1 serve = enough seasoning for 1 pound (450-500g) of meat (and yields about 2 ½–3 tablespoons). Use with ½ cup (125 ml) of water for classic taco filling.
- If you want more, then toggle the “2x” or “3x” button above to quickly scale the recipe for multiple meals or to make a larger jar for pantry storage.
- For frequent taco nights, check the table above for regular and bulk batch measurements.
- Stored in an airtight jar in a cool, dark place, homemade taco seasoning will stay fresh for up to 6 months. After that, it’s still safe to use, but the flavour of ground spices and dried herbs does start to fade. For the best flavour, make smaller batches more often - or a larger batch only if your family uses taco seasoning regularly.
- Reduce chili powder by 25%.
- Skip red pepper flakes altogether.
- Swap smoked paprika for sweet paprika.
